Italian is one of the most wonderful languages on earth, and if you are serious about your Italian, do come and study it with us using our incredible set of innovative resources.
It's completely free in the beta stage and you won't regret it!

Parallel texts are a wonderful way of learning a lot of useful words and expressions especially when it comes to complex reading material. And this is how to study: read the Italian sentences first and when you don't understand something, just look at the English translation provided. Even if the English translation is not literal, you will easily be able to reconstruct the meaning of the whole sentence (if not, just drop us a line!) We provide two kinds of layouts for our parallel texts: horizontal and vertical
(or tabled). This is because each layout has its own merits and can help you study better. Finally, the pronunciation guide is the definitive tool to understand how to pronounce Italian. Don't forget to look up our special page designed to teach you how to use it.
